About Cat's Menace
The city is ruled by fear, rumors, and ruthless laws. While humans cling to control, the cats gather in the shadows, recruit allies, sabotage the powerful, and turn the streets into the stage of a quiet war.Cat’s Menace is a dark narrative strategy game where every mission pushes the story forward. Build your squad of cats, send them on risky operations, make key decisions, and watch the fate of the city shift one pawstep at a time.Every cat carries a story of its own. Some are driven by revenge, some dream of power, and some simply know how to survive better than anyone else. With each new mission, new ally, and new chapter, the uprising reveals a world that grows stranger, crueler, and more compelling.Features include 25 cats with unlockable biographies, branching missions, multiple story paths, and an atmosphere of black humor where something charming can become dangerous in an instant.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the cute cat artwork but overwhelmingly criticize the game's design flaws, particularly the lack of checkpoints that forces replaying from the start after each failure, opaque choice mechanics with no logical consequences, and poor English translation that makes it impossible to make informed decisions. The core gameplay essentially requires blind guessing and memorization rather than actual strategy, making it tedious and frustrating to play alone, though some found it entertaining as a group streaming experience.
This game was a lot of fun to play in front of my stream audience, however playing it by myself without friends would have been a rather miserable experience, I'm afraid. The game has no save or checkpoint system, so when you have a Game Over, you have to start the entire game over from the beginning. The game operates by having you assign a cat to a task and making choices to decide whether the cats succeed or fail in the mission. The choices have no logic behind them, so it's a coin flip in deciding if you lose the cat you assigned or not. Also, it doesn't seem to matter which cats you assign to the mission. They're essentially just very cute life counters. The only way to get through the game is to be very lucky, or to do multiple playthroughs, memorizing which choices are correct and which are incorrect. The English translation is pretty bad as well, but it was fun reading it on stream and laughing when we came across the mistakes, but I have a feeling that's not something that the creators of the game would like to be a positive feature. Also, some of the text disappears so quickly in transitional menus that you can't read it all. I don't recommend this game - it's a f…10 found this helpful
The English translation leaves much to be desired. There is no indication about the consequences of any choices you make, there are two options given and seemingly the only way to get through the game is to memorize the correct ones.5 found this helpful
So, I'm going to be honest and say, I LOVE CATS... Now, when I then looked at the "Similar to games you've played: The Witcher 3 and Portal 2" I was ready for this game to BLOW. MY. MIND. Spoiler alert: It did not... The other reviews are spot on: - English translation is bad, even to the point where some things doesn't make sense - It's game over pretty easily and you have no idea what would be the right answer to the events you're prompted with - When you get a game over, you start over from the beginning - so it becomes a pattern of blindly guessing what's right and having to remember every right answer to get further in the game. Which gets boring and annoying very fast. On the plus side, the artwork of the cats are cute...4 found this helpful
The English translation is poor and you're essentially making choices at random and then trying to memorize which ones are correct. Based on the tags, I would love this game... except the tags are a bit lofty for what the game actually is. I'm getting a refund.4 found this helpful
